In accordance with the Stay at Home Order, the Town of Kill Devil Hills has temporarily closed its playgrounds and public restrooms until further notice. We understand the desire to be outside is more powerful than ever, especially with this beautiful weather. At this time, our parks remain open. However, when visiting parks or engaging in other outdoor activity, it is critical that you practice social distancing. This means no gatherings of more than 10 people and physically staying at least 6 feet apart from others.

There are a lot of changes being made to our regular habits and routines, which is not easy. Although changes are hard, they are important. We know that with these adjustments, we are taking action to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community.
